Nekoyesha: So I'm back! Maybe. Forgive my absence.
Sasuke: I thought you forgot about us.
Nekoyesha: Uh…
Naruto: She did.
Sasuke: Of course.
Nekoyesha: Hehe… Sorry. But that's SO in the past and we must focus on the present! And so… I present to you, my readers, Chapter 7 of my fanfiction! I hope you enjoy it!

Making a Change
By: Nekoyesha
6th Change: Rival in Love
The spotlight was on Naruto. It felt hot and it made him uncomfortable. "Where am I?" He called to no one in particular.
"The defendant must be silent until he is spoken to!" A big booming spoke. The ground shook underneath Naruto's feet and multiple pillars shot out of the ground, surrounding him. They rose above Naruto's head, so far that he could not see the top of each pillar, let alone each person that presided on each pillar.
"What?" Naruto yelled.
"SILENCE!" The voice boomed once more. "We are here to discuss the sentencing of Uzumaki Naruto, keeper of Kyuubi. Killer of our ancestors and killer of Uzumaki Minato and Uzumaki Kushina."
"My parents!" Naruto gasped. "Wait a minute! How could Kyuubi kill my parents? He was sealed by then!"
"The answer to that, you ignorant child, is presented to us through exhibit A." A light shone on two mangled corpses. A man and a woman. The woman had a pained expression on her face and a hole through her stomach. She was pregnant yet there was no dead baby in her stomach. The man had multiple scratches and gashes on his body. His body was also twisted up, his bones broken in multiple places. "Presenting Minato and Kushina Uzumaki." Naruto felt his stomach drop and tears roll down his face. "You ripped out of Uzumaki Kushina's stomach, killing her instantly. Uzumaki Minato had put up a fight, yet he died as well. He was certainly a noble person."
Naruto's vision was blurred from all the tears that filled up his eyes. "Mom… Dad…"
"Your crimes are punishable by death" The other voice cheered and yelled 'Kill the monster!'
"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute! Death? That's an extreme punishment!"
"It has been decided." More cheering. "Your sentence is… IMMEDIATE TERMINATION!"
The floor disappeared underneath Naruto's feet and he began to fall. "WWWWWWAAAAAAIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!" He reached out to grab something, anything, yet there was nothing to grab. So he continued to fall.
"WAIT!" Naruto yelled. His hand was outstretched, reaching for something. He was no longer in a scary and dark courtroom with giant pillars, but in his bed in Iruka-sensei's house. He was safe now and that gave his some comfort. "What was that, though?" His eyebrows furrowed as he tried to remember his dream. The dream, however, was already fleeting and all he could remember was darkness. Naruto shrugged and dismissed the dream. "Yosh! Time to get ready for the day!" Naruto stretched and attempted to get out of bed but something around his waist was keeping him rooted to the bed. Confused, he tried to get out of the bed but the strange force tightened its grip on him. Naruto began thrashing. "Let me go!" He grunted.
"You're too noisy, dobe." The mysterious force spoke and released Naruto, causing him to fall off the bed. After the world stopped spinning in hyper speed, Naruto was finally able to focus on what—or rather, who—was holding him.
It was Sasuke.
"Sasuke?" Naruto tilted his head in the way that Sasuke found oh-so-adorable. "Why are you in my bed?"
"Don't you remember inviting me?" Sasuke admired the sprawled out position that Naruto was in. He was on his back with only his elbows as his means of support. His legs were spread out, mimicking the letter 'M'. And his face was confused. Though Sasuke would've preferred to see Naruto's "O-face" while in such a position, his confused face was equally as cute and ravishing-worthy. His face then lit up in realization. Also cute.
"Oh yea!" Naruto laughed sheepishly. "I forgot for a second."
"Hn." Sasuke said, causing Naruto to pout and Sasuke to shrug. "Had a good night's sleep?"
Naruto brow furrowed. "I… think so?" Though he could not remember his dream, he could remember the feeling of dread and unbearable sadness. "How about you?"
Sasuke 'Hn.' and shrugged. "Better than usual." This was true considering many nights since the death of his parents he would hardly sleep a wink and when he did sleep, he would wake up in a cold sweat and clutching his bed sheets. The restless nights became much more frequent and worse when he had lived with his foster parent, Orochimaru. The nightmares became so terrifying to Sasuke that he believed that he would never sleep again. Naruto was truly his angel.
"He's hidin' in your windows! He's snatchin' your people up!" Naruto cell phone rang. "Tryna rape 'em so ya'll need to HIDE YOUR KIDS, HIDE YOUR WIFE!" For a moment, neither Naruto nor Sasuke made any attempt to grab the phone and enjoyed the auto-tune of Antoine Dodson. "…So you can run and tell that! Run and tell that! Run and tell that, homeboy! Homeboy! Home-home-homeboy!"
"Funny ringtone." Sasuke said as he passed the cell phone to Naruto.
Naruto chuckled. "Yea, Kiba and I always laugh at this song!" He flips his cell open and reads the text message. "Naruto, get yo ass dress or else u'll b late again. Tsunade-baa-sama is out 4 blud 2day! Don't b the 1 2g killed! Kiba." Naruto paled with each word. "Oh, shit!" Sasuke raised a delicate eyebrow. He sat on the bed while he watched Naruto tornado around his room, a string of colorful words followed.
"Why don't you just…" Sasuke paused when Naruto pulled his shirt over his head, revealing his sun-kissed stomach and the markings on it. "Skip school." He finished his sentenced but his voice sounded distant to him. His attention was being kept by a sexy and cute shirtless angel. Naruto was slender like a woman and seemed to glow when the sun hit him. He was just too cute for words. The marking on his stomach, however, was ominous. It would be too convenient to simply dismiss it as a tattoo. Not only did it not match the cute personality that was his angel, the marking radiated pure evil. It brought back memories of Sasuke's darkest moments in life.
Naruto caught Sasuke staring at his stomach. "This is where Kyuubi lives." He patted his stomach. "I've had this for as long as I can remember…" He paused, traces of his dream comes back to him. He shudders at the memory. "Probably since birth!" He forced a laugh and a smile as he hurried to put on a new shirt. He dared himself to look at Sasuke and expected to see disgust or fear or a mix of the two to show on his face and in his eyes. Instead, Sasuke showed nothing but understanding. They were in the same boat, Naruto and Sasuke. Unloved and unwanted by the rest of the world but at least they had each other.
And that meant the world to Naruto.
"Let's go to school, teme!" Naruto said.
Sasuke shook his head. "Let's skip school."
"What?"
"I said 'let's skip school.'"
"No, I heard you. I mean 'what' as in 'are you fucking crazy?'"
"Your friend said that if you're late, you'd be killed." Sasuke pause. "Figuratively speaking, I hope. So what not just skip school and avoid having your blood being spilled." Sasuke saw Naruto thinking it over. "Not to mention that I have yet to be registered at the school." A devious smile was slowly growing on Naruto's face.
'Just a little bit more persuading.' Sasuke thought.
"Skip today and spend the day with me." Sasuke spoke the words that closed the deal.
"Let's—" Naruto began to cave in but was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. "I'll go get it!" Naruto said cheerfully. Sasuke frowned deeply. 'Almost had him.' He thought as he wished maximum misfortune towards the person who was outside the house. As he followed Naruto, he expected to see a door-to-door salesman offering 'deal of a lifetime!' which was really a sucky-ass vacuum cleaner that would break down after three days. The only good thing about the situation was that he could easily 'close'—and by 'close' he meant 'slam'—the door in front of his face. Sasuke heard Naruto squeal with—with what seemed like—delight. Sasuke ran down the stairs. Whoever was making his blonde angel should be thanked and die at the same time. Once Sasuke had reached the door, he spotted his blonde angel's arms around another person. This was enough to make Sasuke punch babies and give the person a slow and painful death.
"Gaara!" Naruto nuzzled into the guy named Gaara. "You're back!" Gaara nodded and patted Naruto gingerly on the head.
Gaara had a deathly stoic face, like that of one who has killed countless times that death no longer fazes him. His hair was blood red. He had a tattoo, or rather, a carving of Japanese character, love on the corner of his forehead. Sasuke found it slightly found the carving slightly ironic for such a person. Underneath his carving were no eyebrows. This made Sasuke think of Rock Lee and the two caterpillars on his face. 'They're total opposites of each other.' Sasuke concluded. His eyes were sea foam green and glaring straight at Sasuke.
"Who is this?" Gaara asked as he raised a nonexistent eyebrow, his eyes never leaving Sasuke.
Naruto turned to see who Gaara was talking about. "Oh," He said once he spotted Sasuke. It really was taking him time to get used to have his raven-haired friend around. "This is Uchiha Sasuke. He just moved here."
"Here?" Gaara growled.
"Well not here, here." Naruto corrected himself. "He's living with Kakashi-sensei but I'm showing him around the town." Naruto turned his attention back to Sasuke. "This is Subaku Gaara. He just got back from…" His eyebrows furrowed as he tried to remember where Gaara had gone. "Where did you go, anyway?"
"Places." Gaara said which Naruto knew was Gaara-nese for 'Mind your own fucking business' which Naruto accepted. "What are you doing today?"
Naruto opened his mouth to respond but Sasuke spoke first. "We're just going to stay home and chill." Sasuke pulled Naruto away from Gaara as he put emphasis on 'we're.' Gaara glared at Sasuke for speaking out of turn and for taking golden-haired cutie away from him. Sasuke challenged Gaara glare with a glare of his own. He was a Uchiha, therefore, he would not back down from any challenge. That rule went double when it came to people who tried to take Naruto away from him and one of those people name is Subaku Gaara.
"School." Gaara said.
"Yea, but—" Naruto started.
"Now." Gaara pulled Naruto along.
Sasuke growled as he watched his cute blonde angel be pulled by a ginger wearing guy-liner. He knew Naruto wouldn't do much resisting especially since it seemed that the two had some history. Their past history meant very little to Sasuke, though. No one would get in the way of him spending time with his tan-skinned beauty and if that meant that he would have to follow the two to school, so be it. 'I won't back down to anyone. Especially you, Subaku!'
Nekoyesha: And so I've finished chapter 7… I'm sorry I didn't have them at school like I said I would but at least you all get to see my sexy baby, Gaara xD!
Naruto: If you love Gaara so much, why didn't you make a fanfiction with the two of us in it?
Nekoyesha: For multiple reasons, Naru-chan. Though the two main reasons are because Sasuke and you are just the ideal yaoi couple in the show… I mean you two did kiss on like the 2nd episode (and I was hooked ever since!) And the 2nd reason is because Gaara. Is. MINE! So you can't have him! Nyeh!
Sasuke: You need help.
Nekoyesha: That too! But that is beside the point! The point is that I've written Chapter 7 and I hope you all like it! Please review so I can make this story better! It would be greatly appreciated, ya know! Enjoy and….
REVIEW!
